Ceremonial Knife DR is way too low, and then to get the ancient one you need to go further into Grifts is nearly impossible to get. I'm 550 paragon in season and hardly ever see them drop. I'm only able to do a 46 atm...could go a little higher if the rift was a good one....but not much higher. Gambling doesn't seem to be that great either. The grind continues....
Yah...I'll keep on grinding. Really like what they did to WD...but the lag if you have another in the group sometimes stops you from doing higher Grifts as well.
got one after 430 hours, 600 paragon levels, it will drop , i think the drop rate is now around 5,23 % something like that, since they buffed it, some of my friends on list have 10 of them.... pray to RNGesus
I don't know whats wrong with drop rate? You guys want to have full gear after 2-3 days? Just farm more.
S3 I'v already have few SMK's including ancient ones. It drops quite often, I hope they nerf the dorp rate of SMK again so its at least valuable again.
There is no need to nerf the DR for it. It's fairly low as it is (3.45% when a CK drops).
You getting several of them, is just what the game is all about - RNG.
I haven't gotten a single one, since S3 launched. S2 was another matter. I had 8-10 drop for me in S2 (2-3 ancients).
SMK isn't the problem for me...I've gotten 3 of those. It's the dagger of darts which doesn't like to drop. Also a starter set for WD is craftable and then combined with Blackthornes you can build a pretty good starter set. But as everyone says it's RNG...just have to keep on keeping on and sooner or later I'll get some love.
Only class specific item that drop at a normal rate is dh weapons.
Mighty weapons and flails isnt that bad, but bad.
Ceremonial and Daibo's suck balls. im paragon 480 and this far in this season ive got _1_ usable daibo. And not more than 10 daibos total. Not even a paddle.
And i know ceremonial knives suck from the previous season
You should be able to roll for ceremonial knives only or bows only or barb weapons only. The price and range is to high and vast to roll for just 1 handers.

I've quit a wd on both pc and console because of this, every ceremonial knife i got was the spider one...

when did they buff it?
When RoS came out and i started playing the game i mained WD, for 200+ hs didn't get SMK.
On s1 i didn't even bother playing wd.
On s2 after countless hours got 2 smk ON THE SAME DAY.
On s3 i got my smk in like 8hs.
So... RNG it's a bitch sometimes.
TIP: Play zdoc support on high grifts, you can still do well enough without smk and more loot = more chances + more shards = more gambling.
Good luck getting it

It's all RNG.
Its not only Ceremonial Knife.
I am plying WD as my first character. there are tons of problem I think that WD is suffering and lead to the domino effect.
Problems:
-WD has no good starting build (try farming from t1 to t6 and compare the progress to other class)
-WD has no good Ceremonial Knife but they has the best Ceremonial Knife ( SMK or dart ONLY)
-WD it takes "sometimes" for you to kill crowd mobs even u with well geared zuni.
-Jade harvest is faster to clear t6 compared to zuni, However Jade is not viable on higher GR 40+

Sigh, got ancient SMK on my barb.....at 450 paragon. Weird that the RNG in this game is so off.
The game is trying to tell you something lol! Did it roll Strength?
rolled int.... think i'm going to make a WD tonight

SMK is always with int, no matter on what class it drops. its a class specific drop.
I was kidding about that since it dropped on his barb lol.

Its very low. I spent around 20-30k shards the past couple days and have gotten 1 spider queen and 1 other crappy one (stuns upon summoning a dog).
There should be another choice like people have said for class specific like the dh gets with 1h weps.
